Hello friends. I have a new birthday card to share today. I saw several challenges that I was inspired by so I made a card that fit all 4 of them.
ETA: My card was chosen as A Cut Above at The Paper Players.
This is my first time using Altenew's Cute Open Rose die. I die cut the flowers and leaves from white and blended SU Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral on the flower layers and Rustic Wilderness DOI on the leaves. I glued the layers together and added the centers cut from Crumb Cake and colored the bottom layer with a brown marker. The white circle was cut with a stitched circle die and embossed with SU Subtle EF (ret.) for a little texture. After gluing the circle to the Soft Succulent card panel (Tasteful Textile EF), I glued the flowers and leaves to the circle element. The sentiment is cut twice with Poppy Stamps Happy Birthday Poe Script die. I layered them for a little extra dimension. I really love the finished card.
First is The Paper Players Tic Tac Toe Challenge - the center row down.
and The Flower Challenge - sketch challenge
and to JUGS challenge - die week #791
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
